Add a side of garlic bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
1/2 cup of cooked pasta water (save it after the pasta is cooked)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 ball of burrata cheese (optional but recommended)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
To Serve
Garlic Bread
Directions
Arrange your meatballs in a single layer in the air fryer, and spray lightly with oil.
Air fry at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes, shaking halfway until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through.
Heat up the marinara sauce and stock in a sauce pan until bubbly and then add in the pesto and parmesan cheese. Stir to flavour the sauce.
Now add in the cooked meatballs into the sauce and let them simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes.
Add in the cooked pasta and toss well in the sauce to coat.
If you feel the sauce is too thick, add in the pasta water in 2 tablespoons at a time while tossing the pasta and meatballs over medium low heat. Add more to the desired consistency you prefer.
Serve the pasta and meatballs with a sprinkle of parmesan and torn basil leaves.
Break up the burrata cheese into chunks and place it over the warm spaghetti and meatballs before serving.
